In modern history, he's the POTUS who did the absolutely most for promoting and advancing the interests of America. It's not really close.

There are several things about him, personally, that I have grown tired of. True. But that doesn't make him any less effective.

He put America first, which is why the anti-Americans hate him

Uh oh…………that will earn you a "CM" or "TDS sufferer" label around these parts!

I'm not intending to knock him. He is being attacked from every angle.

This is a VERY strange remark following Biden's presidency. It becomes self-defeating when looking at the major accomplishments credited to this zombie president.

Name 1 notable accomplishment that Biden did .

*** CRICKETS ***


However inept Carter was, we are able to pin 3 accomplishments to his presidency:

1) Camp David, 50 years later this is still working.
2) Deregulation of many industries. Yea, due to inflation & other things, the deregulation was not able to take-off until Reagan's term. A big step in the right direction.
3) Appointment of Paul Volker. The harsh interest rates imposed by Volker's, pushed the end of Carter's term and the beginning of Reagan's term into a depression. But he did fix inflation & the economy shot off afterwards.
BTW, I give Carter only half credit. When he took office, the inflation was 7.7%. Inflation peaked at 13.5% during his term. So, he was partially responsible for the inflationary mess.

Even though he hasn't gotten as much done as I would like, he has fought the swamp valiantly and exposed so many enemies to this nation. Wish he could run again.

That's why it's so important that somebody picks up the torch when he's done. We are still in the reforming of the republican party phase. The upcoming primary will be another chance to vote out the useless moderates and try to infuse the party with more actual conservatives. Texans need to wake up and realize that the republicans we've been voting into office are a bunch of RINO's.

Did you read all of FrioAgs post? He was clearly talking about Trump.

That's the thing, it really won't earn that moniker. As one of the more prolific purveyors of the term, it's fine to criticize him and to say you are not a fan of his antics.

It's the multi page threads about Bill Maher, immigration videos, etc that result in the TDS calls.

The things people hate Trump for are also part and parcel with the things that make him a great and effective leader.

Not true. You only get labeled that if your "feelings" don't allow you to vote for/support him or his policies. Hope that helps.

Kids these days.

Reagan says hello.

The 1970's was worse than the 2020's.

---

Fiscally maybe. Geopolitical wise by the time Reagan took over the situation had calmed down globally and we were in the waning, absolutely nonkinetic of the Cold War.

I think Reagan and Trump were both very much at the top of America First POTUSees.

Economically, maybe. Illegal immigration, geopolitical, cultural strife, world power, national pride and preservation, not even close. "Fundamentally transform" started with Barry to completely subvert the American way of life and create racial and social division.

1. Reagan destroyed communism in the world the way that all great men destroy communism->with a helicopter ride. I know the story is mythic, but there is a ton of truth to the story.

2. Because of #1, we won the cold war in the 1980's.

3. You grew up in the 1980s, no? My world is best represented by Stranger Things during that era, just without any monsters. The cultural strife of the 1970's was replaced with the patriotism of Top Gun and Rocky Balboa.

4, Reagan wasn't perfect. He botched on illegal immigration when he was governor of CA, and the way that we won the cold war was we just simply outspent USSR on defense capabilities. And, Trump has accomplished a lot in foreign policy, probably more than anyone else since Reagan. But to say that his accomplishments in foreign policy are "not even close" to Trump? That's just straight delusional.

The title of this thread is 'The Worst President Ever'.
Joe Biden & Jimmy Carter are listed in the previous presidents, so my remarks certainly pertain to the subject started by the OP.

The ability to ignore the (lack of) accomplishments by the previous president is a skill that I do not possess.

Also during that timeframe, there were still Congress Critters that actually worked across the aisle.

I think you are downplaying where we were in the cold war. There were very much two super-powers when Reagan took over. By the end of the 1980's the USSR had all but admitted defeat. The Berlin Wall came down right after Reagan was voted out of office.

Reagan's open dialog with Gorbi and rapid expansion of US military power was absolutely key to killing communism. Vietnam was just barely behind us. We won the cold war with economics, not kinetic power. Reagan gets a ton of credit for that.

Trump's not done, but I would put a lot of his policies at the very top. His accomplishments have been impressive. Top 5 since the Civil War in my book.

Biden is the worst president ever, period, end of conversation.

I'll die on that hill.

Title of the thread was "The Worst President Ever".

Answer = Joe Biden

Trump could go down in history as being the President who destroyed his own party.

Some definite recency bias in this thread. While it is yet to be seen if we will ever undo the damage from Obama and Biden qualifies as the least qualified to hold the office, there are other presidents whose mark is still felt. The damage done by Wilson, FDR, and LBJ still lingers. Carter was a good human and a horrible president, but Reagan was able to undo the worst of his presidency. Trump, with hopefully a JD Vance / Marco Rubio / Ron DeSantis, will undo the swamp auto-pen administration ... and hopefully most of Obama's mess.

I think presiding over the biggest coverup of sex trafficking crimes in US history would leave a bit of a blemish on a presidency, but that's just me.

Good point. Wilson, FDR, and LBJ were garbage presidents that did a ton of long lasting damage.

This right here!
